Race Day FAQs

What is the date?

The event is scheduled for November 27, 2025. Make sure to mark your calendars! We look forward to seeing you there.

Where will it be?

The event will take place at the Downtown. It is centrally located for easy access. Check our Event Parking section for directions.

How do I register?

You can register online through our website. Simply click on the registration link. Early bird discounts are available!

Is there parking available?

Yes, there is parking available. We recommend arriving early to secure a spot.

If you do want to drive, Thanksgiving Day is the best day to drive downtown. Only 20 minutes from the Westside and the Valley (and just about anywhere else).

How can I navigate the street closures?

DO NOT APPROACH VIA CITY STREETS FROM THE SOUTH DUE TO STREET CLOSURES.
You must approach the parking garages from the 101. Failure to follow these directions will result in endless hours of driving in circles and becoming frustrated.

After 7:30am or once the lots fill up, vehicles should park at metered parking around DTLA. Street parking is FREE at meters on holidays. Just check out the signs and get that good feeling of not paying at a meter for a day!

Who can I contact?

For any inquiries, please reach out to our support team via the contact form. We are here to help! Your satisfaction is our priority.
